Jetex announced this week that it is now stocking a permanent supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at its Paris Le Bourget FBO. The company began offering SAF—produced from used cooking oil by TotalEnergies in France—at the facility.
In its neat form, SAF can reduce life-cycle carbon emissions by up to 80 percent. Jetex Le Bourget also uses a fully electric refueling truck, which further reduces the carbon footprint of the operation.
According to Jetex, the use of SAF is a major focus for the company and forms part of its commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In February, the company partnered with Shell to offer carbon credits to customers at Jetex FBOs at airports in Dubai, UAE; Paris; Singapore; Dublin, Ireland; Dusseldorf, Germany; and Salalah, Oman.
“We take pride in being part of the aviation community that has yet again proven to be accountable and responsible, taking a positive step towards reducing carbon emissions,” said Jetex fuel director Sufiyan Asif. “Jetex has reiterated its stance towards this goal by making it easier for customers to avail SAF at its FBO base at Paris Le Bourget. We are pleased to be able to include SAF arrangements as part of our services for customers looking to meet the challenge of carbon neutrality.”
